Dr. L[evin] S[mith] Joynes
Sir,
I am very desirous of attending the
course of Medical Lecture at your institution, during the ensuing
term. I have made application to the Surg[eon] Gen[era]l, to be allowed
the privilege of doing so. I have been recommended to apply to
yourself as one who would take an interest in obtaining the
privilege for me. I was a Medical Student of two years standing
at the commencement of the war, having attended two courses of Lect-
ures at the New Orleans School of Medicine, though it is now over two
years since I have had anything to do with the study of Medicine
I think by close application to my studies, I could graduate after
attending one course of Lectures. I have been informed that Med-
ical Students {in the army} had been allowed to attend Lectures during
the past Winter, if I have been correctly informed, and the
privilege is still extended. I would be under many obligations
to you if you would inform me what would be the best
course for me to pursue to obtain the furtherance of my
wishes, and any of other assistance you may be able and disposed to
render me would be received as a great favor.
With Much respect I remain
Your obt Servt
